Libertad Asuncion host Rubio Nu at Dr. Nicolás Leoz in a Paraguayan Primera Division Clausura fixture that carries extra weight: the two sides have met twice already this season in the Apertura, and Rubio Nu won both times. Libertad will be desperate to reverse that recent record on home soil, sitting second in the Clausura table and chasing leaders 2 de Mayo. Rubio Nu, languishing in tenth with a goal difference of -6, need points to escape the lower half.
Defender Nestor Gimenez stands out for Libertad, contributing both a goal and an assist across his last four appearances while also ranking among the team’s most active shot-takers from the back line. For Rubio Nu, midfielder Rodrigo Rojas has registered three assists in four recent games, acting as the primary creative outlet for Jeff Strasser’s side.
A notable stat from Rubio Nu’s recent run: they have scored seven goals across their last five matches, outscoring Libertad’s four in the same window, despite their inferior league position.

Libertad Asuncion vs Rubio Nu Prediction
The head-to-head record this season is a genuine concern for Libertad backers. Rubio Nu beat them 3-0 and 1-0 in the Apertura, and in both cases the bookmakers had Libertad as heavy favourites. That pattern suggests Rubio Nu’s defensive organisation under Strasser can absorb pressure and punish on the counter, even when outclassed on paper.
Libertad’s 4-1-4-1 system relies on controlling possession, but their pass accuracy across the last five games sits at a modest 84% while Rubio Nu’s drops to 78%, indicating both sides can be sloppy in transition. Libertad commit more fouls per game (averaging around 10 per match across five games) compared to Rubio Nu’s eight, which generates set-piece opportunities for the visitors. Rubio Nu’s 11 yellow cards in five matches signal an aggressive, physical approach that could disrupt Libertad’s build-up play.
We predict a Libertad win, but the “Both Teams to Score” angle is genuinely attractive given Rubio Nu’s recent scoring form and Libertad’s leaky record (nine goals conceded in eight Clausura games).

Team Analysis
Libertad Asuncion arrive into this fixture off the back of a painful 0-3 defeat to Nacional Asuncion, their heaviest loss of the Clausura campaign. Before that, they drew 1-1 with Cerro Porteno and edged San Lorenzo 1-0. Their last five results show a side capable of grinding wins against weaker opposition but vulnerable against quality teams. Nelson Valdez’s men have scored just four goals across five matches, with Marcelo Fernández and Gustavo Aguilar providing the bulk of the attacking output. The 4-1-4-1 shape gives them defensive compactness, but their 32 corner kicks in five games shows they do generate wide pressure and set-piece volume.
Rubio Nu’s recent form is mixed but shows character. Their last result was a 3-1 win over San Lorenzo, and before that they lost 1-2 to Sportivo Luqueno. They drew twice and lost once in the three matches prior. Seven goals scored in five games is a respectable return, and Steven Perez has two goals from four appearances as the main striker threat. The 4-4-2 structure gives them width and allows Rodrigo Rojas to operate as a box-to-box creator. Their high offside count (10 in five games) suggests they push their attacking line aggressively, which can be a double-edged sword against an organised Libertad backline.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Libertad Asuncion the Favourite
- Moneyline Libertad Asuncion 1.66 | Rubio Nu 4.65
- Draw 3.50
- Over/Under Over 2.5 ~1.90 | Under 2.5 ~1.90
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes ~1.80 | No ~1.95
The moneyline odds around 1.66 for Libertad reflect their home advantage and superior league standing, yet those prices look short given Rubio Nu’s clean sweep in the two Apertura meetings. The draw at 3.50 offers some value if you believe history could repeat itself. Over 2.5 goals is appealing at roughly 1.90 given both teams’ recent scoring tendencies, and BTTS Yes at around 1.80 is arguably the sharpest price on the board given the underlying data.
Possible Starting Lineups
Libertad Asuncion Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Rodrigo Morinigo
- DF: Robert Rojas, Nicolás Freire, Alan Benítez, Gilberto Flores
- MF: Alvaro Campuzado, Christian Iván Martínez Giménez, Nestor Gimenez, Federico Carrizo
- MF: A. Molinas
- FW: Gustavo Aguilar
Rodrigo Morinigo takes the gloves after starting four of the last five matches. The back four picks itself based on appearances, with Robert Rojas and Alan Benítez offering the most passing volume from defence. Nestor Gimenez plays a hybrid defensive-midfield role and is arguably Libertad’s most complete outfield performer in recent weeks. Federico Carrizo provides width and pressing from the right flank. Gustavo Aguilar leads the line in the 4-1-4-1, with Elvio de Jesús Vera Brítez providing a direct alternative off the bench if Libertad need to chase the game.
Rubio Nu Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Franco Fragueda
- DF: J. Vallejos, Brian Blasi, Víctor Ramón Cabañas, P. Álvarez
- MF: Rodrigo Rojas, William Mendieta, Carlos Giménez, Rodrigo Rojas
- FW: Steven Perez, Octavio Alfonso
Franco Fragueda starts in goal after three recent appearances. The back four of Vallejos, Blasi, Cabañas, and Álvarez has been consistent and physically engaged, with Vallejos and Blasi both contributing goals from defence. Rodrigo Rojas and William Mendieta form the central midfield axis, with Rojas’s three assists making him the key man to watch. Steven Perez leads the attack in a 4-4-2 and carries the most direct goal threat. Carlos Giménez, who has scored once and completed 82% of his passes recently, adds physicality in the centre of the park.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Libertad Asuncion should win this at home, and the bookmakers agree, but the price of 1.66 demands caution given Rubio Nu’s perfect record against them this season. Rubio Nu have scored in both previous meetings and arrive with seven goals in their last five games. We predict Libertad to win, but both teams finding the net is the bet with the best risk-reward balance. A 2-1 or 2-2 scoreline would not surprise anyone watching this fixture closely. The corner market is also worth targeting: Libertad average over six corners per game, and their pressing 4-1-4-1 system forces wide play, making Over 8.5 corners a solid add-on to any slip.
